Virginia governor's anti-bias directive means little

Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell -- in issuing a directive that state workers can be fired if they engage in bias based on sexual orientation -- is trying to find a middle ground between his anti-gay social conservative base who don't want any LGBT protections and business and academic leaders who support such measures. "What's really important to me is McDonnell took the easy way out," said Sarah Warbelow, state legislative director for the Human Rights Campaign. "It's meaningless. Directives do not carry the force of law."
